English Boys

[Intro] [Riff 1] e|----------------------------------------| B|----8-7-5---------8-7-5-----------------| G|----------7-8--9-------7-8--7-----------| D|----------------------------------------| A|----------------------------------------| E|----------------------------------------| [Verse 1] When I was 17 I saw a magazine It had those English Boys   Who had long hair    When I was on my own   They moved into my town And I just called them up   And they’d be there In 1969   I had a lousy time I listened to the songs Read letters sent from Nam    Now peace and love were gone     The tired soldiers home Ideal society    Gunned down the 70s Does it feel the same to you? Why do you act the way you do? Pack it up or pack it in There’s no excuse [Chorus] Could the hands of time reverse? Would we wake or take the ride And again speak with one voice?

Why do you act the way you do? Pack it up or pack it in There’s no excuse Could the hands of time reverse? Would we wake or take the ride And again speak with one voice?
